Man, the reviews are disappointing. I haven't received my package from Amazon yet but I'm going to return it. I could do without CoD Ghosts, all things considered.

Don't know what you expected. Cod campaigns always suck and the multiplayer is basically always the same. I still buy it because I know I'll sink a good amount of time into the MP and enjoy, but I never expect anything mind blowing and gave up playing the SP a long time ago.

I don't know either, but it seems even the MP is bad (I never play SP), so...

Huh. I thought the idea of being able to dl single and multi separately on steam would be so you could play one without the other? But I've downloaded all of SP, and it just says "failed to start game with shared content. Please update COD Ghosts - Multiplayer first". Something I'm doing wrong here? MP is still downloading. I was hoping to do some SP in the meantime.

MP shares similarities in COD games. But every single one since COD4 has done something drastically different.
MW2: Crazy Killstreaks
Black Ops: Revamped Perk system. Removed Stopping power. Diving.
MW3: Support/Assault Streaks. Specialist.
BO2: Future weapons/killstreaks. Pick 10 system. Objective rewards.
But when it comes to Ghosts, many of the changes are really weird with few positives.
Ghosts: Sliding. Connection issues FINALLY get better since Black Ops 1. Revamped perk system. REMOVED Ground War/Theater from current gen. Nerfed assault streaks, limited selection and nerfed Specialist.
There's no more ground war? Wtf?...

Is this running just awfully for anyone else on PC? I'm playing on my laptop but I can run BF4 on Med-High settings with around 50-60 fps consistently. With this I'm dropping from the mid 50's to 30's constantly. And that's with most the settings turned down.
Only on 360/PS3 systems.
I hope the matchmaking is better in Ghosts. It was/is pretty bad in BLOPS II.
this. much OP
erm, since when? All cod campaigns are pretty much awesome, since day one. They were always great fun to play and easily better than 99% of other fps games. You're crazy.
Servers have been up since Thursday. Guy on my FL is already on his third prestige.
I feel the exact same way. Doesn't have the smooth CoD feel to it.
Spawns have been horrendous so far. Chalking that up to it being new. Hopefully they will be fixed.
Feels much better once you have the lightweight equivalent.

Only get to choose a select amount of perks when you get specialist bonus. You don't get the bonus until like, 10 or 11 kills.
Previous game, it was around 8 kills? and you get every perk unlocked.

CoD1,CoD2,CoD4 and CoDBO are the only good ones. The rest was more Michael Bay and Uwe Boll than i wanted.
cheezus, that sounds terrible, i pretty much see everyone using support anyway on streams
is it me or are people dying a tad faster?
It definitely feels like people die faster.
Way faster few bullets and your dead.
Its still at 8 kills. But yea you only get the 3 from 2-6 kills and then like 5 more at 8.
and some people are already 60... cheater or no life?
After a couple of hours of playing, I'm just not feeling it at all. The biggest complaints are the huuuge maps and the ridiculous kill times.
If someone catches you from behind, or from the side even, 9 times out of 10 there's literally nothing you can do cause you're pretty much dead as soon as the first bullet hits you. Add the big, maze-like maps to the equation...
And yeah, the unlocking system is just confusing. Will I get new weapons with ranks or not? It doesn't say anywhere.
Holding out hope Squads and Extinction are good but if not, this'll likely end up being the one CoD I really regret getting. As it is now, I can't see myself playing this game enough to justify a day one purchase.

Played about 1 1/2 hours on PS3. I really like it so far, as with any CoD it will be a couple weeks before it settles into what it will actually be like over the life of the game but I really like the new modes they added. Cranked is just a ton of fun and super fast, and I think Blitz is a cool take on CTF. It feels like the maps are tuned more towards objective modes in general just from the size of them.
Lag is not an indication of dedicated servers or lack thereof....
Wait what, that's like the selling point for COD, how did they ruin it?
Could just be release day issues.
Also, maybe it's just me, but it feels like the guy is trying to throw a cinder block when he throws special grenades.

Digging the multiplayer. Game doesn't feel slow to me at all
Same here. I really like this so much more than past entries, well aside from CoD 4. But yeah its good stuff. These extra challenge drops are cool too, and the maps feel pretty varied.

I am greatly enjoying this, surprisingly.
Maps being "too big" is just right for me, as I suspected. CoD players always need small maps lest their ADHD kick in though, I suppose.
Search and Rescue is cool.
Kill times are a bit too fast. I like them when killing, hate it when being killed. Maybe could be tweaked. Feels like I'm playing hardcore.
Soldier thing is pretty cool, but 500 for the last one?! Holy fucking christ.
Haven't dug into create a class yet. It's a bit confusing and could be explained a bit better (same with perks), but I'll take it. Will likely miss pro perks.
Extinction was alright when I played. Made it to
and died. Kinda boring, but I never liked zombies. Might be better with more people.
Played the first two missions of campaign. Story already seems kinda out there, but we'll see how it progresses.
Only set up preliminary stuff on Squads. Seems a bit confusing to me. They really suck at explaining shit in this game.
Game looks like ass though. Maybe the PS4 footage has spoiled me.
Also, lean is pretty cool. Slide I haven't used much yet.
Will dig into this more tomorrow night when finals are over and break starts.
GAF CLAN STUFF: IIRC, clans are cross-platform now? Once the app is up for Android, I'll set everything up. Is it an invite system still where I need to add people or can I PM people who ask to join the link to join?

Oh, you bought it and are part of the problem too now?
They're cheating. Report them.
I feel like this game represents the worst of COD and the stuff people always joke about like it's "Hide and Seek". The maps are way too large for the kill speed in this game. It makes campers a nightmare and it's just not fun to play. The average kills per match have been drastically reduced and the whole thing doesn't feel or even play like COD any more. I'm not sure if this is the worst one yet but I'm strongly leaning towards it.
Ha no, some Gaffer said it last night but nice try bro.

So are you doing anything other than thread shitting again?
Not sure what your problem is but why do you come to that conclusion? are you mad because it isn't as good as you hoped for?

The game is better than I expected, actually. If you read, you would have been able to figure that out.
Clan is up. If anyone wants an invite to the GAF clan, let me know.

This game is absolutely unplayable for me on PC. I get 60FPS on any setting, but as soon as I start aiming/people start shooting, the game just hitches up for seconds at a time.
16GB of RAM, i7, 660ti. I feel like I should be able to handle the game, considering I'm playing BF4 (not to mention all the old COD games) just fine.

Well that is good for you i guess but i'm by far not the only one who doesn't want to play the same shit every single year again. (just look at the review thread)
As i said i LOVED the Call of Duty franchise but devs really need a wake up call, CoD needs to change and improve.
Also have you seen that you need 6GB of RAM just to play the game on PC? it doesn't even use half of it, for comparison BF4 needs 4GB and Ghosts needs almost 50GB of free space. Do you think that is ok? imo it is not, it's just lazy and terrible programming. I have no sympathy for such devs.
